Poosh Spotlights Dr. Alexis Kimble's Advice on UTI Prevention Post-Sex
Beverly Hills, CA - Renowned cosmetic urogynecologist and reconstructive pelvic surgeon, Dr. Alexis May Kimble, recently shared exclusive insights with Poosh. Poosh, a premier lifestyle brand and website owned by Kourtney Kardashian, is dedicated to women's health and lifestyle.
In her interview with Poosh, Dr. Kimble addressed the common misconception surrounding the preventive measures for urinary tract infections (UTIs) after sexual activity.
With her extensive experience in urogynecology, Dr. Kimble debunked the age-old myth that urinating immediately after sex effectively prevents UTIs, explaining that while widely believed, it lacks substantial medical evidence.
She emphasized the anatomical reasons behind women's increased susceptibility to UTIs after intercourse, highlighting the proximity of the female urethra to the rectum and anus, which facilitates bacterial invasion.
Despite the lack of direct prevention, Dr. Kimble highlighted the importance of post-coital hygiene and provided practical tips to minimize UTI risk:
Avoid Spermicides:
Dr. Kimble advised against the use of spermicides, which can disrupt the balance of good bacteria in the vaginal flora.
D-Mannose Supplementation:
She recommended over-the-counter d-mannose supplements to prevent bacterial adherence to specific areas of the bladder cell wall.
Maintain Hygiene:
Dr. Kimble stressed the significance of cleansing the genital area and utilizing protective emollients like Sonnet79's 24K Oil, which safeguards the genitourinary tract's delicate skin.
Probiotic-Rich Diet:
Incorporating probiotic-rich foods such as yogurt into one's diet can discourage the growth of harmful bacteria in the vagina.
Additionally, Dr. Kimble cautioned about the increased risk of UTIs with frequent sexual activity and advised individuals to be mindful of their urogynecological health.
Dr. Alexis May Kimble's insights offer a comprehensive understanding of UTI prevention strategies beyond conventional wisdom. Her expertise underscores the importance of holistic approaches to women's intimate health.
